While we can't fix the system, helping kids in foster care know there are people out there that want to support them in some small way can make a really big difference.
How do you help kids in foster care?
We've teamed up with One Simple Wish to support kids in foster care. Every quarter our founder grants wishes on our customers behalf on the One Simple Wish platform. Each customer will get an update on how their order made a difference by sharing the wishes that were granted.
Meet the Founder
Amy created For the Cubs after becoming a licensed foster parent. While learning about people needing an ideal 12 hugs a day, she designed Percy, the weighted plushie to mimic a hug. Percy was inspired by Amy’s late grandpa, who played a big role in her upbringing in the outback of Australia. Amy has poured her heart into thoughtfully curating safe, functional, and beautiful collections for eating, sleeping and soothing, with every order supporting kids in foster care through our nonprofit partner, One Simple Wish. She has cared for nine kids since becoming a foster parent. She lives in Austin, TX with her husband and two dogs.
